Metal ions are essential elements in all living systems. Their detections and identifications in biological processes require different methodologies. Mass spectrometry is one of the commonly used techniques in bioinorganic analyses to fulfill these requir ...
We decoupled electron-transfer dissociation (ETD) and collision-induced dissociation of charge-reduced species (CRCID) events to probe the lifetimes of intermediate radical species in ETD-based ion trap tandem mass spectrometry of peptides. Short-lived int ...
The vacuum deposition of complex functional molecules and nanoparticles by thermal sublimation is often hindered due to their extremely low vapor pressure. This especially impedes the application of ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) based analytical and surface modif ...
Keeping up: The fastest kinetic data for ion transfer at a liquid/liquid interface were evaluated by nanopipette voltammetry. The steady-state voltammograms can be explained by theoretical models. In previous electrochemical measurements the systematic und ...
The complex three-dimensional unsteady flow developing in the draft tube of a Francis turbine is responsible for pressure fluctuations, which could prevent the whole hydropower plant from operating safely. Indeed, the Francis draft tube is subjected to inl ...
We present an experimental study of the DC breakdown voltage of MEMS interdigitated aluminum electrodes with gaps ranging from 10 to 500 µm. Unlike most research on MEMS electrodes, that was done at atmospheric pressure, our work has focused on the effect ...
In this paper, we present miniaturized polydimethyl- siloxane (PDMS)-based diaphragm dielectric elastomer actuators capable of out-of-plane displacement up to 25% of their diameter. This very large percentage displacement is made possible by the use of com ...

In this work, the lack of adhesion occurred during the up-scaling of the deposition of tribological coatings in a semi-industrial apparatus is interpreted. The adhesion problems were detected for both hard and self-lubricant coatings from W–Ti–N and W:C sy ...
We study the dissociative ionization of water clusters by impact of 12 MeV/u Ni25+ ions. Cold target recoil ion momentum spectroscopy (COLTRIMS) is used to obtain information about stability, energetics and charge mobility of the ionized water clusters. An ...
In order to fully characterize the performance of the colloid thruster system the electrospray (ES) beam must itself be fully characterized. This may be achieved by measuring various properties such as flow rate, current, droplet/ion charge to mass ratio a ...
